Hamster Corporation has once again made it to the end of another year, so how is it ending it? It's final Arcade Archives release of 2021 is UPL's 1987 arcade platform shooter Mutant Night.
Here's a bit about it, along with a look:
"Players will control a mysterious character named "Mutron-kun" who will power up using various methods such as becoming a giant or creating body-doubles in order to defeat the enemies. This title is one of the remarkable works among the UPL titles that contains a wondrous world view and characters which are also its most prominent features."
You can see all the Arcade Archives games released this year over on Hamster's official website. This latest release will set you back $7.99 or your regional equivalent.

I love when Hamster puts out the weird stuff like this! ❤
Well it definitely interesting
Didn't think this one would be coming west. One of a handful of early Arcade Archives releases that had never left Japan (Wikipedia gives it a Feb 16, 2017 release date for the PS4 in Japan).
Wonder if there's hope for Wonder Boy getting an international release. Was figuring on buying that on the Japanese PS4 store the next time I "import" some PSN downloads.
Is that a walking eyeball, or a helmet?
What a peculiar looking game.
I have no idea what's going on in those screenshots and now I want it.
Woah! I used to love this one in the arcades! I think about it now and then, but I never could remember the name of it! It's quite a strange game, and it felt unique at the time. I also remember it as being really hard. It's really nice to finally be able to put a name to it after all of these years, and I will definitely be revisiting this one.
Never seen this before! It looks ace
I would try it out for a $1 or $2, but not for $8.
@Ooyah Yeah, I had quite the similar reaction when Hampster released Ninja Boy 2. I remember playing the game at a local convience store, but couldn't remember what is was called. (The fact that Ninja Boy 1 existed, and I knew that wasn't what I remembered added to the confusion.)
This rings a bell in the deepest part of my brain. Definitely played it in my life. Don’t know when or where. But that’s a design not easy to forget. Will buy eventually.
Watched a gameplay video. Seems unfairly difficult.
